Cut the BS with Bullfighter
My favorite new piece of software is Bullfighter from Deloite
Touche Consulting. It's a Microsoft Word add-in (2000 or XP) which searches your
documents for terms like "synergy", "value proposition", and "paradigm" that managers
and consultants use to sound smarter. I tried this tool on one of our latest press
releases and found six "BS" hits. Sweet! I only wish they had a web interface
(or web service interface) where you could point to a URL and get a BS word count
from a company's "About" page or quarterly earnings.
On the other side of the net, if you want to bloat your language, visit Vanderbuilt's MBA
Writer . My auto-generated MBA sentence was: "In line with heuristic policy
flexibility, leveraging customer positions leads the way with the ramifications of
the final results." I'm making this my Mission Statement.
There's also a great dictionary for Corporate
Cliches.
